Yes, I know I promised a tutorial on a hat I made to match the cape from my last tutorial test-out. And a hat was made, I swear! See?

Though the hat exists, I will admit I was not entirely happy with the way it turned out, and I haven't had time to make a new one. In the next few days, I will post a tutorial on how I made this one, disappointed or not.

But for now, I feel compelled to make a public service announcement to all of the men-folk in the world. Women-folk too, possibly. Probably. Clumsiness could prove fatal this fall. Now, you might ask, "What on earth is she talking about??"

Why, the spike and stud trend, of course! The spikes being the obvious culprit of the danger...

Delectable, no? But would you give her a big bear hug?

Yesterday I was perusing online sites of some of my favorite places to shop for clothing and accessories. It's not as though I was unaware of this trend- hell, if it were up to me, I'd probably look like a porcupine from head to toe! I'm sort of in love with the spikes! But while I was looking it occurred to me that while lovely, this trend could prove hazardous. No, really! Think about it! Look through websites and you'll see that almost anything that can be worn you can find in a spike-version! Allow me to make my point:

Hair:

Sunglasses:

Earrings:

Necklaces:

Shirts:

Sweaters:

Vests:

Dresses:

Jackets:

Bras: (Yes, you read that correctly!)

Bracelets:

Watches:

Rings:

Fingernails:

Gloves:

Handbags:

Belts:

Pants:

Jeans:

Shorts:

Tights:

Skirts:

Panties: (Yep, them too!)

Socks:

Shoes:

Random Extras:

So, yeah. All of that? It just happened.

And now, to the public service announcement portion of this entry: Men of the world (well, anyone who pisses off a spiky chick or dude, really) BEWARE!

Take a look at some of these items. Ladies, afraid of getting a hug from someone you don't like? Wear spiky clothes!!! Afraid of getting groped at a bar or club? Spiky lingerie! Guy still can't take a hint? Punch him with your spiky rings, or kick him with your wickedly spiked shoes! Knee him with the spikes on your pants! If all else fails, stab him with the spikes from your bag! I mean, really... The possibilities are endless. Some of these could be seriously dangerous! But I think that makes me love them more!

I hope everyone out there is loving this as much as I am- get ready for evenings full of dark, edgy clothing and a little ass-kicking on the side!
